NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv2 readdir
Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers
that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the
server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks
in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper
error to the caller.
This patch does 3 things:
1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO)
2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty
responses with the EOF marker unset.
3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in nfs_xdr_readdirres().
